Hacking for Artists

Swirling wall of moving patterns represents our thoughts By Andy Coghlan Video credit: Engram: Data Sculpture for Melting Memories from Refik Anadol WHAT resembles the wall of an exotic underground grotto is actually a work of art representing the circuitry of the brain in action. Engram / Remember is an incredible moving spectacle, forged from algorithms that convert data about brainwave activity into captivating imagery – this image shows just a single frame. The high-resolution screen starts off showing what seems to be a piece of paper ripping and folding into itself, then morphs into swirling shapes that wriggle and squirm around in an imaginary box. Artist Refik Anadol creates his “data paintings” and other works at the Neuroscape Laboratory at the University of California in San Francisco.

Augmented Reality with #Processing - Tutorial by Amnon Owed All of the visuals in the above video were created using NyArtoolkit for Processing. NyARToolkit is an augmented reality toolkit built with 100% pure Java. It is derived from ARToolkit-2.72.1. Like Processing itself it’s open source and free! In this tutorial you will learn how to use it to place computer generated imagery correctly onto real world footage. All right so let’s start with the general setup. 1. 2. 3. 4. All right, time to recap. Example 1: Basic The first example is basic, but holds all of the important techniques that are necessary for more advanced uses of the NyArtoolkit. If you input the following image (place it in the sketch’s data subdirectory)… …into the first code example, you should end up with something like this… Example 2: Dynamic Time to get a little more dynamic. Example 3: OOP The third example serves two purposes. Main Sketch ARObject Troubleshooting & General Tips

Main Page - Procedural Content Generation Wiki The Original Hacker's Dictionary [This file, jargon.txt, was maintained on MIT-AI for many years, before being published by Guy Steele and others as the Hacker's Dictionary. Many years after the original book went out of print, Eric Raymond picked it up, updated it and republished it as the New Hacker's Dictionary. Unfortunately, in the process, he essentially destroyed what held it together, in various ways: first, by changing its emphasis from Lisp-based to UNIX-based (blithely ignoring the distinctly anti-UNIX aspects of the LISP culture celebrated in the original); second, by watering down what was otherwise the fairly undiluted record of a single cultural group through this kind of mixing; and third, by adding in all sorts of terms which are "jargon" only in the sense that they're technical. This page, however, is pretty much the original, snarfed from MIT-AI around 1988. -- jpd.] Verb doubling: a standard construction is to double a verb and use i as a comment on what the implied subject does.

Harvest, clean cryptocurrencies for climate change Julian Oliver, one of the main writers of the ‘Critical Engineering’ manifesto, has never given up on producing artworks with a concrete side, both universally applicable and opening a space of awareness and sense of contradiction in the public. “Harvest” once more possesses these qualities. It uses a 2m wind turbine connected to a (weatherproof) computer, which is connected to the internet through a 4G uplink. Julian Oliver – Harvest Responsive 3D Panel Layout A responsive layout experiment where we arrange panels in a grid-like structure and transition the elements with 3D effects. View demo Download source Today we want to share a creative grid layout with you. Please notice that this is very experimental. Some of the jQuery plugins used for this: jQuery Transit for most of the CSS transitionsModernizr for checking browser support of the CSS properties The placeholder text is from Veggie ipsum. An example for the HTML structure is the following: The first slide, which is a list item, will contain four images in this example. Each element/image can have a data attribute for the transition effect. The structure that we will create dynamically is the following: Each image or element will be wrapped in a division with the class sg-box. The background images will have the style background-size: cover which will make them cover the whole panel. To call the plugin, simply do: Don’t forget to include the other scripts that are needed.
